Carnal Knowledge Reviews
From angst to emptiness
This movie traces the male attitude toward sexual relations from the 1940s to the late '60s. Jack Nicholson and Art Garfunkel are the two male friends who are college roomies, fall in love with the same girl, and then go their separate ways. Nicholson is the women-hating, unable-to-become-committed one, who ends up impotent except when told how masculine and tough he is. Garfunkel never knows who he is or what he wants, and although he gets the right girl in college, throws it all away later on. A depressing look at this situation, to be sure (over the 20 years dealt with in the film, things only go from bad to worse to awful), but fairly on target, and again Nicholson as the male monster is excellent. Though somewhat outdated, the movie is perceptive and well done. Worth a watch.
A glorious cult movie!
This film seems as the good wine improving itself thorugh the times. Its whole context focusing around the depresive and provoking look through the sexual attitude of two male friends obssesed with this premise, constituted the American answer to this important genre that gathered some of the most remarkable pictures dealing with this theme: From Zabriskie Point,If,Going places,Woman in flames, Bad obsession,The Grande Bouffe,The Servant,The last Tango,Emanuelle and Wide eyes shut we can enlist this select group of hard to beat films that maintained originality and expressivenes; that is why thirty years after, the film has not aged just a bit.
Ann Margrett made the best achievement of her career with that role.
